FUNCTION SELECTION
As you move your cursor around the display, you will notice that the cursor shape
changes to a hand whenever it is within the bounds of one of the function blocks.
Clicking on the mouse when the cursor is a hand will open a control GUI for the function
to which the hand is pointing. When you are finished configuring that block you can
either close the associated GUI or leave it open. All functions remain active whether or
not they are visible.

DEVICE SELECTION
Selecting the device is the first step in creating a PSMC configuration. The Device
combination box lists all devices with PSMC peripherals. Make the selection by
scrolling through the list to the desired device. The device selection also configures
controls for all PSMC instances in that device with the proper input and output names
associated with that device.
